RDH is 6 MONTHS OLD! Oh My Gosh....Time Flies!

At 6 months RDH now rolls all over the place, is army crawling/scooting, and "talks" non stop. Last week we started RDH on brown rice cereal and breastmilk and after only a week - he has also had sweet potatoes, peas, and pears. I am only waiting 2-3 days between new foods this time around. With August we waited like a week between foods....but RDH seems much more enthusiastic about eating, so it is fun to try new ones. So far, he loves them all!

RDH's 6 month appt with Dr H isnt until mid May because I need to get through my Q1 board meetings first, but I weighed him on our home baby scale and he is about 17 pounds! He still LOVES to nurse, but will tolerate breastmilk in a bottle for Michele during the day. :-) His schedule is:

Up at 630am - Nurse

PLAY

930-1045 - Nap

11am - 5-6 oz bottle at Micheles.....or if it is the weekend - Nurses

PLAY

230 - 5-6 oz bottle at Micheles - on weekends - Nurse

245-4 - NAP

PLAY

530 - Mommy is home.....Nurse

630 - Solids

830 - Nurse

830-9pm Bed

2am - Nurse

So he is at about 6 feedings now. :-) plus a meal of solids

RDH still has his blue eyes. I think they are going to stay. They arent as light as August's eyes, but they are definitely blue and sometimes they look green as well.

Keep growing and stay healthy baby boy. We love you SO MUCH! You are a true blessing in our lives!

Happy Easter!

Happy little boy!

Kissing Janae!
Mom! Where are MORE Eggs?
We had a great neighborhood turnout for the hunt!
Sweet Janae! Sorry Janae, your playmate RDH didn't make it......he was sleeping at home.

MORE eggs!
Hunting Eggs! August was great at hunting eggs....guess he had a lot of practice at Ginas on Friday! He ran around and scooped them all up.....but shook each one first to make sure there was candy inside!


Kissing Grayson....doesnt Grayson look happy? August loves his friends!

Playing with BOTH Easter baskets :-) Mommy made a mistake and ordered RDH the LARGE basket from Pottery Barn.....oops! Now RDH's basket is twice as big as August's basket!

UT Baseball game with Daddy! Daddy picked me up early from Ms Ginas on Tuesday and we went and watched TX play!
I loved the popcorn!
The pictures are backwards.....but here is a recap....
Tuesday - Richard left work early, grabbed August and the two of them went to the UT baseball game together. August had a ton of fun and so did Richard!
Friday - August got to have a party at Ms Ginas. They hunted eggs, painted little lambs, and he came home with all kinds of presents from Ms Gina! She must have really taught him how to hunt eggs, because he was a pro on Saturday morning at the neighborhood Easter Egg hunt.
Saturday - August and I started out at the neighborhood Easter Egg hunt....he did so good! He waited until they said go and off he went for the eggs.....he knew exactly what to do - he would pick up an egg.....shake it, smile, say "Eats," and then put it in his basket. He was very competitive and raced around grabbing as many eggs as he could.....he definitely understood the concept! RDH and Daddy stayed home since RDH was napping. August also enjoyed seeing Grayson and Janae at the hunt. If we got too far from Grayson, August would look around and say "Sisson, R U?" looks like he has a new friend!
After the hunt, we all went to Grandmas, where RDH and August soaked up lots of love from Marci, Grandma, Ashley, and Linda
Sunday - We loaded everyone up and went to mass at St Catherines. The boys were wonderful in mass.....August was cracking me up because after every song, he would clap real loud and say "YAAAAY" Hilarious!
We hope everyone had a wonderful Easter! It is Mommy's FAVORITE holiday! It is about the true miracle which our faith is based on.

BABY CARLY! 12 hours after being born. Thanks for letting me come see you in the hospital. I still dont know how your mommy took all that pain, but i guess when you have a baby 30 minutes after getting to the hospital, you have no choice! Good thing it was 4am and you delivered at a hospital close to home, or else you would not have made it!
RDH's first solid meal. I caught them holding hands....so cute! RDH has started on brown rice cereal and breastmilk....he is a week away from being 6 months and he just seemed so ready to me. He is only having an evening meal at this point and nursing the rest of the time, but i think i am going to incorporate a mid day meal soon as well. Time to take out the steamer and blender to make baby food!

RDH did better/was more interested in eating than August was at his first meal.




Dinnertime in our house.

Rolling around on the floor....notice August had to have his blanket down as well.

We have our new computer up and running. :-) Richard was on the team at AMD that developed a new processor, so we got a new computer with the new processor in it.....so everyone go out there and buy a new computer with the AMD Fusion processor :-)
